Wilson Brewer was born 13 Oct 1801 and raised in Chatham County, North Carolina. He married Amy Martin, daughter of Adam and Rebecca Martin of Chatham County. This would be where Nicholas and John got their middle name of Adam. Wilson and Amy lived in the vicinity of Bear Creek and had 12 children. Both were Methodists and he was a hatter by trade. They remained there until between 1840 and 1850, at which time they removed to Georgia. Amy died in 1860, and Wilson married Elizabeth Clark two years later. Elizabeth was previously married to Athelston Ransom. In 1869 they left Georgia and moved to Tennessee, and they both died there in Roane County - Elizabeth 9 Oct 1883 and Wilson a couple of months later on the 12th of December, 1883.

Nicholas Adam "Nick" Brewer was born in Chatham County, North Carolina 12 Oct 1831. He would have moved to Georgia with his parents, then he migrated to Goodrum Twp, Lonoke County, Arkansas in 1855. There he became a successful planter, owning 220 acres, 60 of which was farmed. He was also a member and treasurer of the Wheel (Masonry?) and a school director. He married Scerabo Furlow 1 Jan 1857, a young widow of James Furgeson. She died 16 Jul 1864 (possibly in childbirth), which would have been while Nick was still off to war. During the War Between the States, he served in the Confederate Army in Company K of Fagan's Brigade under General Hindman. Nick fought at Cane Hill, was captured at Helena in 1863, and remained a prisoner of the Union Army for the duration of the war. He later married his sister-in-law, Rosanna Artimissa "Doll" Furlow, in July of 1865. They had almost 25 years together before she died 1 Jun 1889. Nick was wifeless for a few years, until he married Delilah Alabama Wilson, a native of Arkansas, 10 Dec 1896. He was 65 and she was 39. Nick was a deacon at the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, and died 27 Jan 1919 in Parnell, Lonoke County, Arkansas.

John Adam Brewer was born 7 Apr 1833 in Chatham County, North Carolina. He received his education in Georgia, and married there 2 Apr 1857, on his wife's birthday. Martha E Bradford, was born in Georgia 2 Apr 1834 and was the daughter of James S Bradford and Mary Ann Cook. James was a native of Orange County, North Carolina, but he and Mary were married in Jefferson, Jackson County, Georgia. John Adam Brewer was a zealous Confederate who enlisted in 1861. He was wounded in the right hand and never recovered fully from his injury. He was a Master Mason, and a farmer by trade. Both he and his wife died young in Lonoke County, Arkansas - John on the 18th of November, 1887 at the age of only 54, and Martha on 15 Jan 1891 at 57 years of age.

David Daniel Brewer was born in Chatham County, North Carolina 8 May 1836. He was raised in North Carolina and Georgia, and was living with his brother, Nick, in Prairie Twp, Prairie County, Arkansas in 1860. He was back in Georgia by 4 Mar 1862, at time he enlisted in the Confederate Army with Company C of the 42nd Infantry. He married Rosie Ann "Roxie" Lowery, a native of Georgia, in about 1864. They made their home in Pickens County, Georgia. She must have died young, because he married Mary Ann George, the widow of John James Whitehead, in Conway County, Arkansas 23 Nov 1879. They remained in Arkansas until their deaths. Mary Ann passed away 24 May 1910 and David died in March of 1911.
